Referring to Fig. 3~6, the PCB support apparatus comprises first fixed cell 110 and second fixed cell 120.Printing equipment was carried out printing operation (being flux application) on PCB90 when, the PCB support apparatus was fixed PCB90 (that is, make its maintenance static, clamping keeps, and is fastening) between first and second fixed cells 110 and 120.Therefore, first and second fixed cells 110 and 120 structure are roughly parallel to each other, and separate and toward each other with preset distance, so that first edge 91 that supports PCB90 respectively is (according to the arrow that marks " FRONT " among Fig. 3, be forward edge) and second edge 92 (according to the arrow that marks " BACK " among Fig. 3, being posterior edges).
First edge 91 of first fixed cell, the 110 supporting PCB90 of PCB support apparatus also comprises first movable plate 112, first actuator 113 and first retainer 114.First movable plate 112 of first fixed cell 110 installs movingly, in conjunction with or otherwise be formed on first guide unit 111 so that can be along the horizontal movement of y-direction of principal axis.As shown in Figure 4, first guide unit 111 is installed on the pedestal 100.First movable plate 112 of first fixed cell 110 can be along the y-axis, with inwardly (that is direction motion and move with outside (that is, the forward) direction away from first edge 91 of PCB90 backward), towards first edge 91 of PCB90.As the clearest demonstration in Fig. 3 and 4, first movable plate 112 is along the suitable segment length part of guide unit 111, extend along the x-axis direction.
Though can use first movable plate 112 that different modes or device make first fixed cell 110 on first guide unit 111, move along the y-axis direction, but in the illustrated embodiment, used linear motion guide member 115 and guiding block 116 so that first movable plate 112 on first guide unit 111, along inwardly and outward direction move.Linear motion guide member 115 is installed on first guide unit 111, and making slidably, guiding block 116 combines with linear motion guide member 115 and it is installed on first movable plate 112.Therefore, first movable plate 112 can be moved along inside and outside direction with linear motion guide member 115.
First actuator 113 of first fixed cell 110 is installed on first guide unit 111 and with first movable plate 112 and links to each other, so that provide actuating force to first movable plate 112.In one embodiment, first actuator 113 of first fixed cell 110 comprises gas (that is, pneumatic) cylinder, and the piston rod 117 of cylinder links to each other with first movable plate 112 by contiguous block 118.Therefore, when the piston rod 117 of cylinder extends by the manipulation of first actuator 113 or shrinks, transfer a driving force to first movable plate 112, thereby first movable plate 112 is moved on first guide unit 111.In other embodiments, first actuator 113 can adopt other proper device, as electric actuator, hydraulic actuator etc.
First retainer 114 of first fixed cell 110 is installed on the outside of linear motion guide member 115.First retainer 114 has limited the outside motion that first movable plate 112 is left first edge 91 of PCB90.First edge 91 of PCB90 outwards moves and when arriving first retainer 114, first movable plate 112 stops because the effect of first actuator 113 is left when first movable plate 112.Therefore, because the effect of first retainer 114, at this moment, first movable plate 112 can not be moved and be left first edge 91 of PCB90.Under this halted state, the structure of first movable plate 112 preferably can support first edge 91 of PCB90.
Second fixed cell 120 of PCB support apparatus constitutes and is roughly parallel to first fixed cell 110 and separates with this unit, so that second edge 92 of supporting PCB90.Second fixed cell 120 comprises second movable plate 122, second actuator 123 and second retainer 124 (referring to Fig. 7 and 9).As can be appreciated, second fixed cell 120 of PCB support apparatus is similar to first fixed cell 110 basically or be the substantial mirror images setting with it.
Second movable plate 122 of second fixed cell 120 is installed in also can be along the horizontal movement of y-axis direction on second guide unit 121, and this second guide unit is installed on the pedestal 100.Second movable plate 122 can be along inwardly (that is direction motion and can moving along outside (that is, the backward) direction at second edge 92 that leaves PCB90 forward), towards second edge 92 of PCB90.As clearly illustrating in Fig. 3 and 4, second movable plate 122 is along the suitable segment length part of second guide unit 121, extend along the x-axis direction.
Second movable plate 122 is by 123 motions of second actuator, and, its combine with linear motion guide member (not shown) in being installed in second guide unit 121 in case can with towards and leave PCB90 second edge 92 inwardly or outward direction move.Second retainer 124 is installed on the linear motion guide member, leaves the outside motion at second edge 92 of PCB90 to limit second movable plate 122.
In one embodiment, first and second fixed cells 110,120 can move relative to each other on pedestal 100, so that can regulate the distance between first and second guide units 111,121.As being clear that in Fig. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, second guide unit 121 can slide by the guide member 191 along pedestal 100, and, can drive second guide unit 121 so that it leaves first guide unit 111 towards 111 motions of first guide unit or motion by motor 192.
PCB conveying equipment 130 can be installed between first and second fixed cells 110 and 120.In one embodiment, PCB conveying equipment 130 can comprise and is installed in first conveyer belt 131 on first guide unit 111 and is installed in second conveyer belt 132 (referring to Fig. 6) on second guide unit 121.The bottom surface of a side of most approaching edge 91 among first conveyer belt, the 131 supporting PCB90, the bottom surface of the opposite side of most approaching edge 92 among second conveyer belt, the 132 supporting PCB90.Therefore, when first and second conveyer belts 131 and 132 rotate, can between first and second fixed cells 110 and 120, carry, locate, arrange or otherwise transmit PCB90.
The PCB support apparatus can also comprise downside bearing unit 140 (referring to Fig. 6), and this unit has the structure of supporting PCB90 bottom surface.Downside bearing unit 140 is by supporting the bottom surface of PCB90 upward to motion in the PCB90 lower edge, therefore, the height of PCB90 can be adjusted to roughly corresponding with the height of first and second movable plate 112 and 122 so that PCB90 for example roughly is in same plane with plate 112,122.That is, when carrying PCB90 between first and second fixed cells 110 and 120, downside bearing unit 140 raises with supporting PCB90 and regulates the height of PCB90.
Downside bearing unit 140 comprises vertical movable plate 141, and this movable plate can be moved with direction up and down from pedestal 100.Downside bearing unit 140 also comprises from vertical movable plate 141 upwardly extending supporting wing plate 142 and fulcrum posts 143.The both sides of the bottom surface of supporting wing plate 142 supporting PCB90, and, the middle body of the bottom surface of fulcrum post 143 supporting PCB90.
The PCB support apparatus can also comprise vacuum nozzle 150, and this nozzle applies vacuum fixing PCB90 vertically by the bottom surface to PCB90.Vacuum nozzle 150 can move with downside bearing unit 140, edge direction up or down, so that after supporting wing plate 142 and fulcrum post 143 contacts the bottom surface of PCB90, vacuum nozzle 150 applies vacuum pressure by the bottom surface to PCB90 and fixes PCB90.
Below, will the operation of equipment that is used to support PCB with said structure be described.
PCB90 is installed on the PCB conveying equipment 130 of PCB support apparatus, and, between first and second fixed cells 110 and 120, it is carried.Before installing PCB90 additional, for example, in one embodiment, by making second guide unit 121 toward or away from 111 motions of first guide unit, thereby the spacing between first and second guide units 111,121 can be adjusted to roughly width (that is the spacing between the edge 91 and 92) corresponding to PCB90.
The front and back end of the bottom surface of PCB90 is by first and second conveyer belts 131 and 132 supportings of PCB conveying equipment 130.Therefore, when first and second conveyer belts 131 and 132 of PCB conveying equipment 130 rotate, between first and second fixed cells 110 and 120, carry PCB90.
First and second conveyer belts 131 and 132 of PCB conveying equipment 130 are lower than first and second fixed heads 112 and 122 and constitute, so that PCB90 is when being carried by first and second conveyer belts 131 and 132, not can with other parts, interfere as first and second fixed heads 112 and 122.Downside bearing unit 140 is regulated the height of the PCB90 that is carried so that roughly be in same plane with the plate 112,122 of first and second fixed cells 110 and 120.When side bearing unit 140 moves under PCB90 in the upward direction instantly, by supporting PCB90 from vertical movable plate 141 upwardly extending supporting wing plates 142 and fulcrum post 143.First and second sides and first and second movable plate 112 and 122 that downside bearing unit 140 rises until PCB90 roughly are in same plane.
Fig. 7 is the end view of the PCB support apparatus in the displayed map 3, and this equipment can be carried out printing operation along the past print direction backward; Fig. 8 is a plane graph, and it has schematically shown the mode of operation of PCB support apparatus shown in Figure 7.
When PCB90 and first and second movable plate 112 and 122 roughly are in same plane,, PCB90 is bearing between them according to print direction.In printing operation, solder flux is applied on the surface of PCB90.When rolling by rubber solder flux is pressed in PCB90 when going up, the print direction of solder flux can be for from the place ahead of PCB90 backwards or from the rear of PCB90 forward.Roll by rubber, PCB90 is exerted pressure, thereby cause PCB90 to move along print direction along print direction.In order to prevent the motion of PCB90, determine the direction of motion of PCB90 according to print direction, and, operate first and second fixed cells 110 and 120 to avoid the motion of PCB90.
When print direction be from first edge 91 of PCB90 when second edge 92 of PCB90 (that is, in the past backward), because from the pressure of printing equipment, PCB90 is motion backward often.In this case, second movable plate 122 at second edge 92 of supporting PCB90 and 124 operations of second retainer are not so that PCB90 can move along print direction.
In this case, the work of second actuator 123 so that second movable plate 122 move along outward direction so that the rear surface of second movable plate 122 contacts second retainer 124.When the rear surface of second movable plate 122 contacted second retainer 124, because second retainer can limit the outside motion of second movable plate 122, therefore, second movable plate 122 this moments can not be with outside direction motion.
When second movable plate 122 and second actuator 123 have quit work, 113 work of first actuator so that first movable plate 112 move along inside direction, thereby PCB90 be pressed in or be clamped between the plate 112,122.Shown in Fig. 7 and 8, PCB90 is supported by the supporting wing plate 142 and the fulcrum post 143 of downside bearing unit 140, but fixing.Therefore, when first movable plate 112 was pushed first edge 91 of PCB90, PCB90 was towards 122 motions of second movable plate, and therefore, second edge 92 contacts second movable plate 122.
In this state, because second edge, 92 contact second movable plate 122 and the PCB90 of PCB90 can further not move along direction backward, therefore, the PCB support apparatus can support PCB90 reliably during printing operation.
